Aus dem Buch: „...Karola steht auf der Schwelle in ihrem Knabenhut, in dem Pelz, der um die Schultern hängt, nicht wie eine weiche Frauenhülle, sondern wie eine Beute, ein Wildbret. Sie starrt in das frische Grün der Linden auf der mittleren Allee. Auf einer Bank sieht sie, immer wieder durch Gefährte und Vorübergehende verdeckt, ein Paar Hand in Hand sitzen. Sie schauen beide geradeaus, wie die Hunde, die so tun, als ob sie nichts miteinander haben, während sie sich nahe kommen. Aber in den beiden Händen, seiner rechten, ihrer linken, welch innige Vereinigung! ›Bin ich so schwer zu lieben? Warum läßt er mich fort?‹ Sie lächelt leichtsinnig und verzweifelt." Franz Hessel (1880-1941) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Übersetzer und Lektor. Franz Hessel veröffentlichte zahlreiche Gedichte, Prosabände und Romane. Hessels Romane Der Kramladen des Glücks, Pariser Romanze, Heimliches Berlin sowie das postum von Bernd Witte herausgegebene Fragment Alter Mann zeigen einen melancholischen Erzähler in der Tradition Marcel Prousts, der, der verlorenen Vergangenheit nachtrauernd, die Erscheinungen der Moderne zu genießen bereit ist.
